AbstractTwo kinds of hyperbranched polymers, star-shaped poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-bound polyamidoamine dendrimer, were immobilized on polyurethane (PU) films using photoreactive azidophenyl groups. Immobilization of the hyperbranched polymers was verified by ATR FT-IR observations and contact angle measurements. Using photoreactive molecules, this study shows a unique method to modify polymer films without functional groups easily through immobilization of other polymers on the film surface. PU surfaces modified with immobilized hyperbranched polymer showed significantly reduced platelet adhesion, i.e. increased blood compatibility, as measured via UV spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy.

Pellethane 2363 80A catheters were modified with poly(ethylene oxide) in order to improve their blood compatibility. Contact angle measurements showed that Pellethane 2363 80A surfaces had increased wettability after this modification. The results of in vitro blood compatibility tests showed that surface modification with poly(ethylene oxide) resulted in a five-fold reduction of platelet deposition. Activation of coagulation was not affected.

Thiol-functionalized MCM-48 (SH-MCM-48) was synthesized by co-condensation method, with co-templates of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and nonionic poly (ethylene oxide)–poly (propylene oxide)–poly (ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer (Pluronic P123). The resulting material was characterized by XRD and FT-IR spectrum. The potential of SH-MCM-48 for adsorption Zn (II) from aqueous solution was examined. Batch adsorption studies were carried out to investigate the effect of experimental parameters including pH, metal ions concentration and adsorption time. The maximum adsorption capacities of Zn (II) onto SH-MCM-48 were 30.12, 34.01 and 38.02 mg g-1 at the temperature of 303, 313 and 323K, respectively. The adsorption kinetics data were found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and adsorption isotherms were fitted well with Langmuir and Freundlich models. Moreover, the adsorption thermodynamic parameters (△G0, △H0 and △S0) were measured, and indicated that the adsorption was an exothermic and spontaneous process.

Poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) have protein-antifouling properties and blood compatibility. ABA triblock copolymers (PMEAn-PEO11340-PMEAn (MEOMn)) were prepared using single-electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) using a bi-functional PEO macroinitiator. Two types of MEOMn composed of PMEA blocks with a degree of polymerization (DP = n) of 85 and 777 were prepared using the same PEO macroinitiator. MEOMn formed flower micelles with a hydrophobic PMEA (A) core and hydrophilic PEO (B) loop shells in diluted water with a similar appearance to petals. The hydrodynamic radii of MEOM85 and MEOM777 were 151 and 108 nm, respectively. The PMEA block with a large DP formed a tightly packed core. The aggregation number (Nagg) of the PMEA block in a single flower micelle for MEOM85 and MEOM777 was 156 and 164, respectively, which were estimated using a light scat-tering technique. The critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) for MEOM85 and MEOM777 were 0.01 and 0.002 g/L, respectively, as determined by the light scattering intensity and fluorescence probe techniques. The size, Nagg, and CMC for MEOM85 and MEOM777 were almost the same inde-pendent of hydrophobic DP of the PMEA block.

AbstractThe effect of incorporation of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on thermomechanical and hydrophilicity properties of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was investigated. PEG/PLLA blends, containing 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt% PEG, were prepared by melt-extrusion in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. By DSC analysis, it was observed that the Tg of PLLA phase in PEG/PLLA blends decreased accompanied by a significant decrease in Tcc and increase in their melting enthalpy. Therefore, the addition of PEG enhances the crystallization ability of PLLA phase due to its lubricating effect which increased mobility of PLLA chains. From TGA it was observed that low concentrations of PEG (10 & 20 wt%) increase the Tonset of thermal degradation, probably due to improved heat resistance of the crystalline phase. At higher PEG content, the Tonset decreases, as the lubricating effect becomes the controlling mechanism for the initiation of degradation process. Decrease in tensile strength and modulus was recorded especially in PLLA blends with PEG content higher than 20 wt%. The elongation at break decreases reaching a maximum at 20 wt% PEG and then dropped again. To investigate the effect of PEG on the wetting ability of PLLA, water contact angle measurements were performed. The results indicate that the introduction of PEG lowers the contact angle values in PEG/PLLA film surfaces, as compared to pure PLLA, suggesting improved hydrophilic properties.

We prepared N, O-carboxymethyl chitosans (CMCSs) with different substitutional degrees (SDs) to evaluate their effects of hemostasis, and provided experimental basis on biomedical materials. Chloroethanoic acid was used to synthesize CMCSs. The structure were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD). Potentiometric titration and Ubbelohde viscometer were adopted to determine the SD and intrinsic viscosity of CMCSs. Contact angle measurements were investigated to determine surface wettability. Method of dynamic clotting time and coagulation test in vivo were used to evaluate their effects of hemostasis. SDs of CMCSs were from 50% to 110%. As the SD increased, molecular weight decreased. CMCS powder with SD 63% possessed excellent hemostasis both in vitro and in vivo. CMCS powder owned hemostatic capability prior to CS. CMCS powder with SD 63% (neither too high, nor too low) possessed excellent hemostasis both in vitro and in vivo.

Poly(ethyl ethylene phosphonate)-based methacrylic copolymers containing polysiloxane methacrylate (SiMA) co-units are proposed as surface-active additives as alternative solutions to the more investigated polyzwitterionic and polyethylene glycol counterparts for the fabrication of novel PDMS-based coatings for marine antifouling applications. In particular, the same hydrophobic SiMA macromonomer was copolymerized with a methacrylate carrying a poly(ethyl ethylene phosphonate) (PEtEPMA), a phosphorylcholine (MPC), and a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGMA) side chain to obtain non-water soluble copolymers with similar mole content of the different hydrophilic units. The hydrolysis of poly(ethyl ethylene phosphonate)-based polymers was also studied in conditions similar to those of the marine environment to investigate their potential as erodible films. Copolymers of the three classes were blended into a condensation cure PDMS matrix in two different loadings (10 and 20 wt%) to prepare the top-coat of three-layer films to be subjected to wettability analysis and bioassays with marine model organisms. Water contact angle measurements showed that all of the films underwent surface reconstruction upon prolonged immersion in water, becoming much more hydrophilic. Interestingly, the extent of surface modification appeared to be affected by the type of hydrophilic units, showing a tendency to increase according to the order PEGMA < MPC < PEtEPMA. Biological tests showed that Ficopomatus enigmaticus release was maximized on the most hydrophilic film containing 10 wt% of the PEtEP-based copolymer. Moreover, coatings with a 10 wt% loading of the copolymer performed better than those containing 20 wt% for the removal of both Ficopomatus and Navicula, independent from the copolymer nature.

Herein, the wool fabric was mordanted with alum, treated with microbial transglutaminase (m-TGase), and then dyed with madder. Different concentrations of alum and m-TGase were used to find out the optimum condition to achieve the best color after dyeing the wool fabrics with aqueous extract of madder. FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods were applied to characterize the as-prepared samples. Contact angle measurements showed that the water uptake capability was increased in the case of the wool sample treated with alum and enzyme. Moreover, the samples were assessed for color strength (K/S) and color fastness. Our results showed that the optimal condition to get the highest color value was for the sample with 10% owf (of weight of fabric) alum and 5% owf m-TGase. Furthermore, it was found that there was a critical concentration for enzyme so that an increase in m-TGase amount would cause damage to the scales of fibers. The best condition of the dyeing process was discussed in this study, and also the proposed mechanism was presented. Indeed, treatment of wool with m-TGase led to a reduction in the amount of consumed alum, while investigations in color performances demonstrated the enhancement in color fastness, as well as color strength.

AbstractAbstract New polymer hydrogels based on partially phosphorylated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA/Phosphoester) have been prepared. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was employed to confirm PVA/Phosphoester formation. Contact angle measurements were performed to evaluate the surface characteristics of the hydrogels. The PVA/Phosphoester hydrogels were co-networked with Chondroitin sulfate (CS) in various ratios by chemical crosslinking. The synthetic-natural mixed resulted semi-IPN hydrogels were structurally and morphologically investigated by ATR — FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The swelling behavior and dynamic moisture sorption capacity of the PVA/Phosphoester (p-methyl-phenyl phosphonic dichloride) (P3)-CS semi-IPN hydrogels were followed. It was found that the performance of the semi-IPN hydrogels was influenced by the CS. By kinetic studies, it has been shown that the swelling processes occurred by an anomalous transport mechanism.

Hybrid thick films were deposited on Surlyn, a copolymer of poly(ethylene- co-methacrylic acid) and a common adhesion film for metal surfaces. Hybrid organic–inorganic materials were prepared by a sol-gel process. Methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), phenyltriethoxysilane (PhTES) with TEOS, and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) with tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) were investigated. The inorganic component was selected to form the network for the film, while the organic component was selected to repel water and fill porosity. The films were deposited on Surlyn and on glass slides. The properties of the films were investigated using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. Contact-angle measurements indicated that the contact angle increased from ∼76.5° for Surlyn alone to ∼89.6° for Surlyn coated with MTES.
